Deuteronomio 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:17

For the Lord your God is God of gods
Of angels and civil magistrates, who are sometimes so called: these are his creatures, act for him and under him, and are accountable to him:

the Lord of lords;
of the kings and princes of the earth, who have their crowns, sceptres, and kingdoms from him, and hold them of him, by and under whom they reign and decree judgment, and who are subject to his authority and control:

a great God;
as the perfections of his nature, the works of his hands, the blessings of his providence and grace, and the extensiveness of his dominion in heaven, earth, and hell, show him to be:

a mighty and a terrible;
mighty and powerful to help, protect, and defend his people; terrible to his and their enemies, even to the kings of the earth:

which regardeth not persons;
but bestows his favours, whether in a way of providence or grace, according to his sovereign will and pleasure, without regard to the works and merits of men, their characters or circumstances:

nor taketh reward;
or bribes, to avert threatened and deserved judgments; see ( Job 36:18 Job 36:19 ) .

Deuteronomio 10:17 In-Context

15 Sin embargo, él se encariñó con tus antepasados y los amó; y a ti, que eres su descendencia, te eligió de entre todos los pueblos, como lo vemos hoy.

16 Por eso, despójate de lo pagano que hay en tu corazón, y ya no seas terco.

17 Porque el SEÑOR tu Dios es Dios de dioses y Señor de señores; él es el gran Dios, poderoso y terrible, que no actúa con parcialidad ni acepta sobornos.

18 Él defiende la causa del huérfano y de la viuda, y muestra su amor por el extranjero, proveyéndole ropa y alimentos.

19 Así mismo debes tú mostrar amor por los extranjeros, porque también tú fuiste extranjero en Egipto.
